RADtec 56" Weatherproof Electric Patio Heater (6000W/220V)

The 56" Torrid Series delivers 6000W of heating power, nearly double the output of standard residential models. It operates on 220-240V and is designed for large residential patios or commercial venues. The 56-inch length with golden tube elements allows flexible mounting (vertical or horizontal) while providing commercial-grade performance with distinctive ambiance. If you need maximum heating power for a large space or harsh climate, the 56" is your best choice.

Yes. The 56" Golden Tube model produces a warm amber glow from its heating elements, creating sophisticated ambiance while delivering powerful heat. This is different from RADtec's zero-glow models. The golden tube design adds elegant lighting to your outdoor space while heating up to 230 square feet.

The 56" requires professional hardwired installation with 220-240V electrical connection (27.27 amps). Mount the heater 7-16 feet from the ground/floor and maintain at least 24 inches clearance from heated surfaces. The unit can be mounted vertically (wall) or horizontally (ceiling). We strongly recommend hiring a licensed electrician familiar with 220V installations.

Yes. The included remote control offers four adjustable heating power modes, allowing you to dial in the perfect temperature for any conditions. The remote also includes timer functionality for automated operation.

Yes. The 56" features IP67 weatherproof rating with aluminum housing designed for permanent outdoor installation. It's totally protected against dust and water immersion, operating reliably in rain, wind, and temperature extremes, making it ideal for year-round use in demanding climates.

The 6000W output provides heating coverage for approximately 230 square feet. Actual coverage depends on mounting height, ambient temperature, and wind conditions. For optimal performance, mount 7-16 feet high and position heaters to create overlapping heat zones in very large areas.

Operating costs depend on your local electricity rates and usage patterns. At 6000W (6 kW), running the heater at full power costs approximately $0.60-0.90 per hour based on average US electricity rates of $0.10-0.15 per kWh. Using lower power modes reduces operating costs proportionally.
